Texans Reach Contract Agreement with Williams, will pick him No. 1

ok... i don't think there's any more reason to waste time trying to defend bush... it's obvious that nothing's going to change some people's perception that he's not all that, no matter what. and there's probably nothing that's going to change the perception of some of us that he is all that... including not just fans, but texans fans (who are about to jump off bridges now) and about six gms that have made calls to the saints re: trade proposals right now. yeah, the "average fast running back" really garners that type of interest from professional talent evaluators.
Ki-jana carter was a number one overall pick and he sucked

Yeah, but Ki-Jana carter didn't have five teams trying to trade away their mothers to get him either...

you would think they would atleast trade down. There is a reason they are the first pick though

The texans suck at life.

Now watch him fall to 14 and the Eagles

but in all seriousness, seems like the Jets could use him. They need a successor to Curtis Martin don't they?

Bush is so overrated, hes just fast...i cant believe some people could compare him to barry sanders

idk if mario williams was worth the number one pick but he will help their team more than bush...D'brickashaw would have been the best pick for them

and domanick davis is a great running back...his stats arent that great, but he's had a few injuries and he's been running behind the worst o-line in the league
Wow,,what planet have u been living on,,Reggie Bush is Marshall Faulk and Ladanian in one body. No wonder the Texans have the 1st Pick in the draft they suck at drafting just like they suck at playing. Mario Williams in Texas equal another losing season...You gotta score to win

Now watch him fall to 14 and the Eagles

I'm sure the Jets are on the phone trying to get that pick. However, I think Saints fans would be just as upset as Texans fans if they were to pass on Bush in an effort to move down in the round.

I'm a huge, huge, huge Barry Sanders fan. He was a blast to watch. But the Lions weren't exactly a model of playoff consistency when he was there. How much, if any, can be blamed on him I don't know but could the Lions have been better had they taken Derrick Thomas or Deion Sanders even?

Point is I think Reggie Bush is going to be a very exciting player but will he bring wins? Bush right now strikes me as a final piece to a puzzle then a building block.

I cant believe the texans,you should hear the fans and the sportcasters on the radio here blasting the texans,I just saw a commercial for a local tv draft show,and they were hyping the reggie vs vince debate,which aint even happening now,99% of the people hear are already pissed off the texans aint taking vince,but have come to accept the bush pick,but this is fked up,now they are really pissed,I wonder if this is casserlys descision? he's on the next train out of town anyway,and none too soon,his drafts here have sucked and i dont want him coming back to the skins

Bush is nothing more than an over rated Kevin Faulk. You saw it in the Rose Bowl. He is always trying to take the ball to the sidelines where LB's are great at defending in the NFL. I would venture to say that in a year or two he ends up as a WR where he will not be great. For anyone to waste a first round pick on him would be retarded. Now with that said I still do believe that he will be an impact player, but not in the traditional RB or WR positions. He is a scat back without question. He will make big plays on reverses and catches out of the back field, but by no means is he a full time running back or receiver.

I dont know why everyone is so up in arms about this. Granted, I said from the second they were the #1 pick, that the Texans should have traded down, but I think it takes some balls to not pick Reggie Bush and I agree with Houstons decision to think about the team and where they can fill holes. They dont need to fill holes at running back. I think they are making the right decision in not picking a running back.

However....how did they not trade down??? They could have traded with the Jets at four and I'd be shocked if Mario Williams didn't fall to them there. So I think its a huge mistake on that front, as they defintley could have acquired alot more for that pick.

I like that they are not taking Bush, but I dont like how they went about it.
